Productive weekend making progress on the leaning post and splash well deck area. It feels good to accomplish some small goals that I have been thinking about for almost two years. Last sheet of 1/2" Joubert. Must be close to done; no more material.
Splash well deck is solid with a layer of 1708 on it. The last piece of material to be integrated into the boat, and probably the nicest FG layout I’ve ever done. (Got it figured out for the next one). Also drilled the lumber holes oversized, filled with silica, and drilled out again.
When leaning post is done and glued in place, and console glued in place, it’s time for paint! Good July goal imo.

Re: C19 in Richmond, VA
Hate to tell you this but you are never done working on a boat until you sell it

Your ability to print your ideas in plywood is incredible!
Does the top/opening of the leaning post become a backrest or just for storage access?

Re: C19 in Richmond, VA
Much like any home project we have undertaken.
Just a few hours with a computer and a cnc. It's a luxury for sure. Time saved cutting parts via cnc, is invested into indecisiveness and indecision over inconsequential details.
Not a backrest. Only flips up for storage. I'm talking to a metal guy about a backrest/rod holder.

Progress looks great. Love the console.

Interprotect on the sides showed a few pin holes and missed spots. Spread a little AwlFair in those. Needs some time to cure.

FTR, I found that gel-magic was great for pinholes. No drip, perfect consistency every time.Dan_Smullen wrote: ↑Mon Jul 04, 2022 6:31 pm Interprotect on the sides showed a few pin holes and missed spots. Spread a little AwlFair in those. Needs some time to cure.

Chopped 2” off of the leaning post legs after a last minute lean check. Tabbed in place and then flood coated the 2nd half of the deck. Flood coat was epoxy slightly thickened with glass microspheres.
